Here We Go Again

The US Mint has announced it will issue a new set of dollar coins. Director Edmund Moy says,
"Using a dollar coin is more convenient in parking meters, it's more convenient at the subway kiosk, it's more convenient in vending machines."
He's right. Except for the fact that most people hate carrying coins. So, while making a $50 coin may come in handy at the self check-out at Kroger, I'll stick with the paper.

I totally agree about the coins. They drive me nuts. I'd rather see the penny abolished than more dollar coins made.

How many times will they make a $1 coin only to realize we like the paper ...not the metal. :)
